Martin + Osa (Martin & Osa) is a new store that carries their own branded clothing brand developed by American Eagle Outfitters. The store’s name and inspiration comes from Martin and Osa Johnson, a globetrotting husband and wife team from Kansas who explored Africa and the South Pacific Islands, chronicling their travels in photographs and diaries.
Martin Johnson and his wife Osa Johnson were adventurers from Kansas, United States. They captured the public’s imagination through their films and books of adventure in exotic, far-away lands.
They studied the wildlife and peoples of East and Central Africa, the South Pacific Islands and British North Borneo. They explored then unknown lands and brought back knowledge of civilizations thousands of miles away through their films, writings and lectures. Martin Johnson died in the crash of a Western Air Express Boeing 247 commercial flight near Newhall, California in 1937. Osa died in New York City of a heart attack in 1953. American Eagle launched Martin + Osa, a new line of stores named after Martin and Osa Johnson, in 2006.
